You’re not as good as they say. You’re not as bad either.
The world loves to exaggerate. When you’re on top, everyone calls you a genius. When you’re struggling, suddenly you’re a failure. But real growth lives somewhere in the middle—where you don’t get too high off the praise or too low from the setbacks.
This quote breaks down the illusion of extremes. It’s easy to let wins inflate your ego and losses crush your spirit. But true self-mastery is keeping your perspective steady—just like Marcus Aurelius, who had a slave whisper in his ear, “You’re just a man.” A powerful reminder to stay grounded, no matter the outcome.
This mindset keeps you hungry and humble. Because success without awareness can become arrogance—and failure without reflection can turn into defeat.
